Playa el toro is the closest beach to Pedasi and is well used. The road that went to the beach was in rough shape at the end, and getting worse every year, but still drivable. Over the past year there must have been some very big waves as the road has totally collapsed.


At the entrance to the beach you can take a path that starts a little further up the road. Not in great shape but an alternate way to get to the beach.

We have been coming to this beach for several years now. Last year we were able to park besides the blue fence. Not anymore!

Total collapse. So sad.



Once on the beach, if you turn to the right you have tons of rocks and a short area for walking. However, if you turn to the left, at low tide you have lots of sandy beach and can walk for kilometres.


As you walk up the beach there is much erosion with many exposed roots.


This structure is standing proud. Last time we were at this beach a large group of people were enjoying this space, and the food smells were fantastic.

There are a lot of fallen trees.





The further you go up the beach, the shoreline becomes flatter and with fewer trees. The destructive power of nature is not evident here. It just looks like a sunny late afternoon walk on a calm day.


It is amazing what happened from one year to the next.

Still beautiful. Amazing the power of water.
